Carlos Ghosn makes official Datsun confirmation...

It can easily (eventually) cross over as a compact market segment, like what scion is to toyota? Which is a cheap car company as well with yet a lower market brand. It could be what Kia is to Hyundai... Build step level brands like Gm has Chevy, buick, Cadillac... Dodge Chrysler Jeep... Seems to be working for a few corporations.

I think the differences between the vehicles of Datsun and Nissan is going to be considerably larger than differences Kia/Hyundai, Scion/Toyota, etc. Like Dreamer mentioned, Datsun is supposed to be targeted at emerging markets and stuff. Just a guess, but I doubt that the vehicles Datsun will be putting out would be allowed for sale in the US.

Could be wrong though.

I know this is so on the onset. But thats why I said "EVENTUALLY" I figured what will happen in the U.S. is both Nissan and Infiniti will go upmarket. The Q60 coupe i believe will have a huigher price range than the G by a considerable margin. Considering that the Q50 pricing now starts where the G coupe used to start. That said. I think the Q60 will run from the low 40's to the mid 60's. The Q60 ipl, will cost over $100,000 considering it will be a luxury GT-R.

By 2017, I believe the Z start price will be between 35-37k. Most models of Nissan minus the cube, vera and sentra will be in the mid 20's to low 30's. I can see a company like Datsun by 2020 in the US

I'm excited to see a new Datsun. Hopefully it's not just a rebadging of Nissan's lowest end cars, but an introduction of newer, cheaper models.
